You don’t have to look very far to find small shops in Chicago because they make up the epi-centers of each of Chicago’s 77 neighborhoods giving this big city a small-town feel. These locally-owned shops sell products made here in Chicago and in other small communities across the globe, those in need and those following their dream. There are so many small businesses in Chicago, but these are some of our favorite local shops that serve our communities and help give our neighborhoods their appeal.
#Small Business Saturday is coming up later this month, but we don’t need to wait to support our local shops! Here’s a list of our favorites in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Logan Square, North Center, Bucktown and Wicker Park:
